28, going to be 29 at the end of the month.
I own a 1982 with Mariah widebody and TII engine. Also on my driveway, but in need of restoration, are a 1984 and an NSU Ro80 (1973 model). Daily driver is an ordinary car though (Mazda 626), as I have two little kids.

18.75 lol !

I got my first Fb (83 LE) when I Got my DL. It was my fathers, I bought a 74 pinto when I was 18, I just got my second project 7 (84 SE) a month ago for 250. Plus all my other toys Jet skis etc...

But BEST of all I BOUGHT & PAID for all of them. That is what makes them so special to me!

i paid for my first rx7(84 base model) when i was 16. it has been retired due to wheel well rust(and is for sale REAL CHEAP). i bought my second 1st gen (80 with 76 13b and many mods) about 6 months ago...i think. i drive a 94 accord for a DD and work my tail off to get my SA the way i want it for now. that way i can stop spending so much money on it. i hope to some day buy an FD, just cause theyre so sexy. i love the FB/SA though and i wont ever be without one.

im at that stage in my life when im trying to decide what to do. this year college will accompany my full time job at Caterpiller. ill be going for CNC and other machinng classes. i wish i could get into a job that has to do with rx7s, preferrably something with road course racing, but anything with rx7s would be great. if anyone has any advice please pm me!! i want to get my life on track.

24, Bought my first and only 7 when I was 22. Mod bug bit, and now I pulled a perfectly good 12A SP out for the almighty S5 13BT.

I still have the original window sticker, believe it or not. Add that to all the original manuals that came with the car. 81 GSL

Well I am younger than B Holten ((Bobby kicked the chocks loose for Moses )) and older than Snapshot and I bought my first 7 in late 85, or early 86 been too many rotaries ago

I will start acting my age when they close the casket on me.
